Institute for Cognitive and Integrative Neuroscience of Aquitaine, Bordeaux.

The INCIA department is a world leader in the field of Neuroscience research. Its research particularly focuses on the neuronal basis of addictive processes. In the department molecular and electrophysiological approaches are combined on the freely behaving animal to understand how brain cells encode and decode the memories linked to drug intake and withdrawal.
In this animation, SciLight modelled the complex microdrive, electrode and optrode assembly used to monitor and modulate brain signals in the behaving animal.

Philosophy

Research Institutes and Biotech Companies are involved in a global competition, where attractiveness and visibility are the keys to success. In the era of digital and interactive media, scientists are often constrained in their need to promote their work by sub-optimal communication methods.

Science broadcasting is on the verge of reaching a new level. Modern software from the cinema industry offers unprecedented opportunities to bring data collected in the lab to life.

SciLight provides academics and industrials with innovative graphics and a communication edge in today's scientific race.
